Yamaha Motor Europe to Debut New YRM20 Mounter at SMTconnect 2020
March 10, 2020 | Yamaha Motor EuropeEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Yamaha Motor Europe SMT Section will highlight the next generation machine platform with the first new machine YRM20 surface mounter for data-intensive intelligent manufacturing at SMTconnect 2020 in Nuremberg, May 5-7. The Yamaha booth, 319 hall 4, will also feature the integrated material handling with the YST15 intelligent component storage tower, software tools to boost productivity, and inline modular surface-mount equipment of the Yamaha Total Line Solution.
Making its European debut, the YRM20 introduces Yamaha’s next-generation platform optimised for high-speed, high-volume communication and accelerated data sharing. In addition, the new HM inline head and RM rotary multipurpose head that interfaces efficiently with the latest high-speed feeder, increase speed and versatility. The YRM20 also introduces a new high-precision board mount, new conveyor for faster transport and board replacement, overdrive motion for increased productivity, and advanced, intuitive GUI with focused controls and easier component setup.
Also ready to power smart factories to increased productivity, the YST15 intelligent component storage tower can store up to 1500 reels, load and unload up to 27 reels in one batch, and connect with surface-mount lines to coordinate replenishment automatically.
The next generation software platform will feature in a dedicated display area to demonstrate the latest tools to accelerate equipment programming and setup, simplify real-time control, assist troubleshooting and traceability, and automate data analysis to inform manufacturing and business decision making.
From the Yamaha Total Line Solution, the booth will feature the YSP10 fast-cycle printer with automatic stencil replacement, YSM20R high-speed modular mounter featured for high axis speeds and non-stop operation, YSi-SP 3D solder-paste inspection system, and YSi-V hybrid 2D/3D/4-direction AOI system.
Yamaha technical experts and sales engineers will be available at the booth throughout the event to explain how the Company’s innovative equipment solutions and software tools support smart manufacturing and increase productivity and quality. Visit booth 319, hall 4 to find out more.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
